Research direction

Start by reviewing the explorer's function-creation flow and the work tracked in #318. Trace how capa analysis is currently triggered, then define the change as detecting a newly created function and rerunning analysis so rules matching features from it are included. Done means new functions are analyzed automatically and their matched rules appear in the results.
